Well I'd have to ask my dad, but when he was a local councillor and on the planning committee for many years I think conflict of interest wasn't just monetary - just being related to the person meant you had to stand down for that part of the meeting, even if you were Chair.
That was in the UK though, but I thought it was pretty standard?
